IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO VACCINATE!! (INFLUENZA)

We have been seeing patients in our practice with influenza (high temperatures, sore throat, headaches, muscle aches and congestion). One of the influenza strains this year has mutated and is not well covered by the current vaccine. Despite this fact, it is still recommended that everyone be vaccinated. Those people that are vaccinated will hopefully have a milder illness if exposed to the virus. They will also be protected against the other strains of influenza which may occur later in the flu season.
